Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
Any serious news outlet (not NDTV, Arnab & Sudhir etc) will of course be able to receive the documentation to confirm how I have a visa in my passport that suddenly does not function anymore.
Thank you for the support. ❤️
She MUST be allowed in India!
Many people would love to hear from her.
Shame on government for stopping her.
Shame on Amit Shah
Shame on Narendra Modi
Keep up the good work @HelleLyngSvends
The embassy in Norway is not at fault. They were truly nice and helpful during the process.
It is the Ministry of Home Affairs that has ruined the trip by denying me entry even though I have gotten a visa and had political clearance for the conference.

India ambassador in Norway 🇳🇴
@GloriaGangte
Shameful for India 🇮🇳
firstly you granted her a visa, and when she was finally ready to travel, you cancelled it. How is that fair? Misusing your power like this is completely wrong.
I was beyond excited to go to Hyderabad for the @Bharat_Summit. Forging a New World is the topic. And the World is in the great need of just that.
Nailed it.
Congratulations to Amit Shah's department for providing the most practical, real-world demonstration of the summit’s topic before the summit even started. Nothing screams "we have absolutely nothing to hide and are a booming, secure democracy" quite like panicking and getting nervous over a journalist with a microphone!!
I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom.
But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa.
Here is my message for @AmitShah
Elon is visible worried. He has become the biggest spender on campaigns in the U.S. Next week we will see if it worked or if democrats came back swinging.
My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.
Popcorn’s out.

A bunch of cartoonist today report having their content being taken down or unavailable in India.
This is completely absurd. How can PM Modi be so frightened by political satire?
A rebrand can only take you so far when you’re product is hypocritical and insincere.

Now, who would of thought commitment to defend the government, disguised as journalism, doesn’t work?

Thank you, Bernie. I still feel the Bern on cold Oslo nights like these!
If this happens, I will be convinced we live in a simulation.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary! @NICKIMINAJ
Yess, supporting independent journalism in India is crucial as they fight billionaire powers who have taken over the old formats.
Only a 100? 😂 I fear this might be an insult
Thank you @HelleLyngSvends
You are better than 100 Sudhirs!
More power to you...
